Pain! It Hurts So Much!

Who knew what was wrong with these hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.

The moment they took human form, it was like they lost their brains.

Sometimes Yang Xiu wondered whether they had transformed their brains away when taking human form.

Xiao Wu was like that, the Emperor Auspicious Beast was like that, and even that Silver Dragon Fish with its astonishing wisdom was like that.

[Ah Yin: Please tell me, Lord Group Leader. I can bear any outcome.]

Ah Yin's breathing grew heavy, and her entire body felt a little cold.

Oh, the cave entrance was too chilly. Then it was fine...

"Could something have happened to my child? Shouldn't Hao be protecting him at all times?"

Ah Yin was extremely uneasy.

[Strongest: Your child is now named Tang San. His martial souls are Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer. He was born with full soul power, and his soul power should be level twenty-eight by now. He can be considered a genius.]

Seeing this, Ah Yin immediately let out a sigh of relief.

She had thought something had happened to her child. It had truly given her a huge fright.

"This group leader is really awful. So my child is called Tang San? What a lovely name. It's just that you never got to meet me, your mother, while growing up. I feel so guilty."

The moment Ah Yin heard the name, she understood its meaning.

Tang Hao had chosen it to commemorate her. Back when she had traveled with the Clear Sky Twin Stars, she had ranked third, and her eldest and second brothers had both called her Third Sister.

At the thought that her child possessed twin martial souls, Ah Yin felt another surge of pride.

This was her child, a once-in-a-million genius!

Having lived in the human world, Ah Yin naturally knew just how rare twin martial souls and innate full soul power were.

"Hao, you must have taken excellent care of Little San, right? You must have given him a good life since childhood. Leaving Little San with you was truly the right choice."

Ah Yin thought happily.

[Number One Poisoner in the World: Damn! Ah Yin's child is this monstrous? Twin martial souls and innate full soul power... and his second martial soul is even the continent's number one tool martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer!]

Dugu Yan's little face was full of shock. As Dugu Bo's granddaughter, she considered herself well-informed.

Yet Tang San's talent still astounded her.

After all, even as the granddaughter of a Titled Douluo, her innate soul power had only been level seven!

[Shadow Cat: Indeed. This level of talent should place him in the first tier across the entire continent.]

Zhu Zhuqing was filled with envy.

"If I had that kind of talent, I probably wouldn't have been sent off for a political marriage, would I?"

[A Healer Cannot Heal Himself: Tsk, tsk, tsk. Auntie Ah Yin really gave birth to an excellent child. This talent is truly beyond reproach.]

[Motherless Since Childhood: This is pretty average. It's only passable...]

Qian Renxue genuinely thought so. Whether it was twin martial souls or innate full soul power,

they were all inferior before the Qian clan's Angel martial soul.

Had she ever bragged about her innate level-twenty soul power?

The previous person with twin martial souls and innate full soul power was still being suppressed by her grandfather even now.

That's right, she meant you, Bibi Dong!

[Bibi Dong: According to the profound theory of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul should also be extraordinarily remarkable!]

"Xiaogang, your martial soul theories really are as profound as ever!"

Bibi Dong began missing Yu Xiaogang again.

Little did she know, Yu Xiaogang's martial soul theories did not contain that point at all.

Bibi Dong was simply flattering Yu Xiaogang.

If that so-called Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls truly contained such a point, Yu Xiaogang would not have always considered Tang San's Blue Silver Grass to be a useless martial soul.

[Motherless Since Childhood: Tsk! Bibi Dong, you stupid fool! Brain-dead! The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls? You mean Yu Xiaogang, right? He's nothing but a fraud!]

[Bibi Dong: You're not allowed to talk about Xiaogang like that!]

[It's Dance, Not Five: Is Auntie Ah Yin's child really called Tang San? How could that be so...]

Relying on the last shred of cleverness in her mind, Xiao Wu still did not type out the word "coincidental."

Turning to look at the ordinary-looking Tang San beside her, she asked directly, "Third Brother, you have twin martial souls? The other one is the Clear Sky Hammer!"

Tang San instantly turned his head, his gaze becoming dangerous. The underlying code activated instinctively.

[Tang Sect General Principles: If anyone learns of your trump card, do not hesitate. Kill them immediately!]

The Silent Sleeve Arrow in his hand had already lifted slightly.

But upon seeing Xiao Wu's cute and pretty face, his mind instantly went blank.

The code entered a conflict.

Clearly, the code "do not harm Xiao Wu" had higher priority. Tang San lowered his slightly raised hand again.

Tang San spoke gently. "Xiao Wu, how did you know I have two martial souls? I don't recall telling you that."

"We've known each other for so long. I noticed it long ago; I just wanted to confirm it with you now. Third Brother, don't worry. I won't tell anyone else!"

For that brief instant, Xiao Wu had felt a chill around her neck, as though some prey had fixed its gaze on her.

It made her shrink her neck involuntarily.

[Strongest: Don't celebrate too soon. Let me ask you a few questions first.]

[Ah Yin: Please ask, Lord Group Leader. As long as I know the answer, I will definitely tell you.]

[Strongest: Just a few small questions. When you and Tang Hao were fleeing Spirit Hall's pursuit, did you ever feed your child even once?]

[Ah Yin: N-No, we didn't.]

Ah Yin had not yet calmed down from her excitement, so she did not notice anything unusual in the question.

At the time, they had only cared about escaping with their lives. How could they have had time to feed the child?

[Strongest: Your child went three days and three nights without food, while constantly being affected by the aftermath of battle! What made you think your child was still alive?]

When Ah Yin saw those words, the happy expression on her face instantly vanished.

An extreme terror engulfed Ah Yin's entire body.

"That's right! My child was only a human infant. How could he possibly go three days and three nights without food or water? That's right, I'm so foolish. So foolish."

But then she remembered that the group leader had just said her child was living well.

That gave Ah Yin a sliver of hope.

"Hao must have used some secret technique to keep Little San alive. He must have!!!"

[Ah Yin: Lord Group Leader, you... don't scare me. How is Little San, exactly?]

[Not the Little Witch: That's what's bad about Group Leader Brother. He always likes to say half of something and then stop!]

[Motherless Since Childhood: It's quite strange. I remember that battle being extremely intense. Even experts at the Soul Sage level could be injured by the aftermath if they weren't careful, much less a newborn child.]

[Bibi Dong: Could it have been the protection of a god?]

Bibi Dong could only think of that possibility.

[Shadow Cat: Group Leader, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us already...]

[Strongest: Then I'll say it directly. Your child is already dead. Of course, it is the death of his soul, not his body.]

It hurt! It hurt so much!
